Mat 25:13, Mar 13:33-37, Act 20:28-31, 2Ti 4:1-4, 1Pe 4:7, 5:8 | ESV | STEP | Watch therefore , for you know neither the day nor the hour .

33 ^cBe on guard, ^dkeep awake. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add and pray} For you do not know when the time will come. 34 ^fIt is like a man ^ggoing on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants ^{▼▼Greek bondservants} in charge, ⁱeach with his work, and commands ^jthe doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 ^kTherefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, ^lin the evening, or ^mat midnight, or ⁿwhen the rooster crows, ^{▼▼That is, the third watch of the night, between midnight and 3 a.m.} or ^pin the morning— 36 lest ^qhe come suddenly and ^rfind you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: ^sStay awake.”

Acts 20:28-31

28 ^tPay careful attention to yourselves and to all ^uthe flock, in which ^vthe Holy Spirit has made you ^woverseers, ^xto care for ^ythe church of God, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts of the Lord} which he ^aaobtained ^abwith his own blood. ^{▼▼Or with the blood of his Own} 29 I ^adknow that after my departure ^aefierce wolves will come in among you, ^afnot sparing the flock; 30 and ^agfrom among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Therefore ^ahbe alert, remembering that ^aifor three years I did not cease night or day ^ajto admonish every one ^akwith tears.

2 Timothy 4:1-4

Preach the Word

1 ^alI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, ^amwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by ^anhis appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; ^aoreprove, rebuke, and ^apexhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 ^aqFor the time is coming when people will not endure ^arsound ^{▼▼Or healthy} teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and ^atwill turn away from listening to the truth and ^auwander off into myths.

1 Peter 4:7

7 ^avThe end of all things is at hand; therefore ^awbe self-controlled and sober-minded ^axfor the sake of your prayers.

1 Peter 5:8

8 ^ayBe sober-minded; ^azbe watchful. Your ^baadversary the devil ^bbprowls around ^bclike a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
